Richard Hennessy, a former Irish officer in the service of Louis XV, founded the House of Hennessy in Cognac, Charente, in 1765. In September 2024, Maison Hennessy celebrates its origins by creating a limited edition for Hennessy VS, designed by a duo of Irish street artists, for the 300th birthday of the founder, Richard Hennessy.

Prunier 30 Years Old is a pure Grande Champagne from the hills around St Preuil, aged from distillation in old barrels in an extremely damp cellar, resulting in an unusually pale colour for a 30 year old. A wonderfully natural cognac, with minimal wood.

Maison Prunier offers these old vintage Cognacs "brut de fûts", produced in just a few hundred bottles per vintage. This edition comes from the 1976 harvest from the Grande Champagne terroir and bottled with its natural alcohol degree. Supplied in a wooden box.

From the new Pléiade series from Maison Delamain, the Revelation Collection is a very old Grande Champagne eau-de-vie coming exclusively from the village of Malaville and having aged in a single 350L barrel.

Maxime Trijol Petite Champagne 1991 is a Cognac with an orange, limpid robe. On the nose, a beautiful harmony of floral notes, cooked fruit, Morello cherry and spices mixed with a woodiness and rancio sufficiently melted to contribute to a balanced whole. Roundness and finesse emerge from this beautiful eau-de-vie.

Braastad XO Fine Champagne is a blend of the best Grande and Petite Champagne Cognacs of the House. The Fine Champagne denomination is obtained with a minimum of 50% coming from Grande Champagne and the rest from Petite Champagne.

Braastad XO Superior, as the name suggests, is an improved blend of the traditional XO. It is made from a selection of eaux-de-vie aged 15 to 25 years from complementary terroirs: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fins Bois.

Long recognized by the family as an eau-de-vie of exceptional quality, the Heritage lot is the quintessence of what aging in barrels represents as conceived by the Bertrand family. The first Series of 500 Heritage were released in December 2018. In 2021, with three additional years of aging, 500 new bottles were extracted from the original batch: here is Héritage n°2!

Lot N°76 is an exceptional blend of great Grande Champagne Cognacs, matured to perfection in old casks. Lot n°76 immediately establishes its quality on the nose, which exhibits a wealth of caramelised peaches, almond and candied fruit aromas. This carries on magnificently through to the palate, with rich, delicate flavours of nuts and dried fruits.

Iconic cognac throughout the world, Hennessy XO was created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy and Emile Fillioux. Driven by their taste for old eaux-de-vie, they create this rich and complex blend and baptize it Extra Old, one of the first of this name, which is now known worldwide.
